RE: Pet Death - Losing a Family Member
I agree so much with pets are people, they are well and truly valid parts of families. I had an amazing dog called Taz and it's been 4 years since he has gone. I think without him I would truly lost the plot in life circumstances at that point.
There is an author who lives downstairs from me. Her dog died of a heart attack in her arms, leaving her completely traumatized. Eventually she got another - a giant poodle - whom she feels got her through that time and keeps her going now. She's had a rough time, including beating cancer, and without Vincent, I am sure she really would have completely lost it.
